A small step in a leap we need to do as planners for the next generation - putting the idea of people and communities first and foremost in planning initiatives the world over. Transforming from physical planning that is embodied as infrastructure and buildings to sustainable planning that prioritises the users and the impact it has on their daily lives - through means and solutions that address the intangible and the ephemeral experiences that bring us together as a people from all walks of life. South Asia has seen a number of technological leaps that have set in motion a lifestyle change that is almost unrecognisable in just a decade. How do we deal with such change, migration, technology adoption and economic and social accessibility that is created by this? Can the idea of planning for such massive leaps in society be addressed better through an approach that is focused on well-being and experience that naturally drives inclusion and integration through experiential and intangible means for creating impact? #wellbeing #sj #smec #planningforthefuture #urbandesign #urbanplanning #urbanliving #inclusionanddiversity #transformation

So glad to see this piece by Urban Land Institute mirror many of the points in Cistri and Urbis' "Crafting Creative Clusters" research on best practices for developing #creative place-based ecosystems: ?? "Start at the end" - This echoes our call to engage in strategic and vision-led planning of places and their delivery to ensure creative clusters are inclusive and beneficial to all - including users beyond traditional economic or development cores. ???? "Engage artists and the community" - This aligns with our call to build a unique and authentic place identity that reflects local culture and fosters an active and engaged community that makes the cluster vibrant. ???? The "What's in it for me?" perspective - This reflects our view of creative clusters as multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary ecosystems, the best of which have diverse but also complementary stakeholders whose varying activities could even cross-subsidise one another for sustained viability.

Creative placemaking is critical for anyone trying to activate their spaces and Friendly Futures has an idea or two on how to leverage design as a tool to ignite community health and joy!

Are we safe in the city's urban architecture? "Small changes, like making sure high-rises are safe, making public places easier to gain access to, and promoting green spaces, can have a big effect on the city's future over time. By using thoughtful, human architecture, city can become a place where people not only live but also grow, changing the way people feel safe and welcome in cities for future generations."

Creative placemaking, a concept that involves bringing art and culture in tandem with design to the beginning of a real estate development, has continued to gain traction over the past several years with examples becoming more visible around the globe.

The essence of a city lies not only in its skyline but in the stories told by its architecture. Every building, from historic landmarks to modern skyscrapers, contributes to the unique urban identity that shapes our experiences and perceptions of a place. Urban architecture is a dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation. It's where cultural heritage meets contemporary design, creating spaces that are both functional and inspiring. As we navigate the evolving landscapes of our cities, we see how thoughtful design fosters community, drives economic growth, and enhances the quality of life. As we look to the future, it's essential to continue integrating respect for the past with visionary design. This balance ensures that our urban landscapes remain dynamic and resilient, capable of adapting to the needs of diverse communities, to the daily experiences of residents and visitors.

How do you decode a city’s DNA? The figure-ground map is a powerful tool in urban design and architecture, showcasing the relationship between built and unbuilt spaces. By revealing patterns of density, connectivity, and urban fabric, it guides decisions on land use, development, and regeneration. Can you GUESS which city is this? But how do we effectively read and use these maps? By understanding the interplay of solid (buildings) and void (open spaces), we gain insights into a city’s potential for growth, improvement, and renewal. These maps allow us to design spaces that are not just functional but truly integrated into their surroundings. ??:?How do you approach figure-ground maps in your projects?
